I think you'll find they aren't one dimensional at all. They're running the spread and have an extremely mobile QB in Ellis. Then you factor in the speed of Fletcher and you have a nice combination. Up until this point the opposing defenses have just left a lot of lanes and the run game has been strong. Don't think that the Lakers can't throw the ball.

As far a multiple QBs, I think it's clear that Ellis is the guy. Smiddy has gotten some time due to the point deficits. It's a perfect time to get him comfortable with the system. It also free's Ellis up for receiving, and he is one of the most athletic in the state.

Where the Lakers are really down is in the kicking game. Williams gave them a huge advantage last year...that will be missed.

First, running the spread offense doesn't make you a passing team. That is about controllinghte numbers in the box to run the ball. Second. Ellis is a mobile Qb who runs it way more than he throws it, hence one deminsional. Everything you did to dispute that perception just soilidfied it. I do think the lakers can't throw the ball. I saw them not be able to throw the ball in 2 of the 3 previous games.
On an side note, my heart goes out to the family and friends of the Merideth boy who died. It's times like this that make you want to grab your kids and hold them tight a little longer. God bless you guys in Russell Co as you all deal with this tragedy.
